4. BoreSaver Overview
• BoreSaver is an approved range of specialist treatments for
the cleaning, rehabilitation and maintenance of
wells, boreholes and water supply systems contaminated with
iron bacteria, iron oxide, manganese oxide and calcium
carbonate deposits.
• BoreSaver treatments are safe, easy to use, biodegradable
and environmentally friendly.
• Boresaver can be used for well rehabilitation or for cleaning
wells, boreholes and water supplies without dismantling
equipment and will not attack or deteriorate any materials
inside the system.

5. Technology
• BoreSaver treatments are added directly to the well, borehole or water
system – the amount to use is based on the volume of water. The
treatment works directly on the problem, loosening and dissolving the
deposits and related contamination. Any of the standard rehabilitation
methods are then used, including surging and brushing, air-lifting and
pump-in recycling, to safely pump the deposits and contamination
away.

8. BoreSaver Range
• BoreSaver Ultra C is an approved borehole cleaning, well
rehabilitation and water supply treatment. It completely
removes iron and manganese oxide deposits and minimizes
iron bacteria contamination.
• BoreSaver Ultra C Pro, the factory blended version of
BoreSaver Liquid Enhancer and BoreSaver Ultra C. It is an
enhanced borehole cleaning, well rehabilitation and water
supply treatment. It completely removes iron oxide and
manganese oxide deposits and minimizes iron bacteria

9. BoreSaver Range
• BoreSaver IKL Pro is a borehole cleaning, well rehabilitation
and water supply treatment. It completely removes calcium
carbonate and related deposits.
• BoreSaver Liquid Enhancer can be added to the entire
BoreSaver range for a more powerful treatment process or it
can be used on its own as a controlled maintenance
treatment in specialist situations. Liquid Enhancer is part of a
range of water supply treatments for well cleaning, borehole
cleaning, well rehabilitation and maintenance. It is supplied as
a liquid concentrate and is an aqueous proprietary blend with
bacteriostatic properties. It is used where a greater iron
bacteria control is required (for example where the bacteria
are particularly active and the contamination is
comprehensive) or in a sensitive installation where quality of
supply and flow is critical.
